I’m impressed, but not as impressed as I was watching the gameplay premiere for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. In the trailer, we get to see an older, more grizzled Cal Kestis and his heightened Jedi abilities that include a new lightsaber stance where he wields two sabers at once for the quick, hard-hitting offence. A new mobility option–a grappling hook, Cal riding different animals, fighting alongside a companion and holding a Kylo Ren-like saber. We also got confirmation of Survivor’s March 17 release date, following a couple of leak rumours earlier this week.
Another game with a confirmed release date is Final Fantasy 16. The game got a brand new trailer and an official date of June 22.
The trailer showed more of the fast-action gameplay we’ve seen in previous trailers, as well as a glimpse of Esper that players will find throughout the adventure. The horseback-riding Esper appears to be Odin, while a new demonic Esper is seen attacking hero Clive Rosfield. Later in the trailer, Rosfield summons an Esper of his own in Ifrit and uses him in battle.
